The 3-step method that works everywhere

Copy the link. Open TikTok, tap Share on the video and choose Copy link. On desktop you can also just copy the URL from the address bar.
Paste it into TikItDown. Go to the TikItDown homepage, paste the link into the field and press Download. The video is analyzed in a couple of seconds.
Save the file. Pick the best quality and tap download. The video - without the TikTok watermark - saves straight to your device.

Download TikTok videos on iPhone and iPad

Open the TikTok app, tap Share on any public video, then Copy link. Switch to Safari, open the TikItDown homepage, paste the link and hit Download. The MP4 lands in your Downloads, ready to move into Photos or share anywhere.

Tip: in Safari tap the Share button and choose Add to Home Screen for TikItDown. Next time it behaves like an installed app - no download, no App Store.

Download TikTok videos on Android

In the TikTok app, tap Share then Copy link. Open Chrome, go to TikItDown, paste the link and download. The video appears in your Downloads folder (visible in Files or your gallery's download album). Since Android handles video better than iOS, you can also save 1080p or 4K sources without issues.

Download TikTok videos on PC and Mac

On your computer, open TikTok in any browser, open the video you want and copy the URL from the address bar. Paste it into TikItDown, choose quality and save. On Mac the file lands in Downloads; on Windows it lands in your default download folder. The file is a standard MP4 that plays in any player and imports into CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci Resolve.

Download TikTok photos (slideshows) without watermark

Not every TikTok post is a video. For photo slideshows, TikItDown detects each image in the post and lets you save them individually in original quality - useful when you want clean HD stills for edits, mood boards or archives.

What you cannot download

Private or friends-only videos - TikTok does not expose a public source for them.
Deleted videos - once removed, the source file is gone everywhere.
Livestreams - live content cannot be fetched after the fact.

If your link is a normal public video and it still fails, double-check that you copied the full www.tiktok.com/@user/video/... link and not a profile URL.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free to download TikTok videos without watermark?+

Yes. TikItDown is completely free. There is no account, no subscription and no watermarked preview - paste a link and download the original video.

Do I need to install anything on my iPhone or Android?+

No. TikItDown works entirely in your browser. On iPhone you can add the site to your home screen for a one-tap app-like shortcut.

Why can't I download a private or deleted TikTok video?+

TikItDown can only fetch public videos. If a video is private, 'friends only' or has been deleted, TikTok no longer serves a public source file, so there is nothing to download.

What quality will my downloaded video be?+

You get the highest quality TikTok serves for that video - typically 1080p, and up to 4K for supported posts. TikItDown never re-encodes the file.

Can I also save photos from TikTok slideshows?+

Yes. For slideshow posts TikItDown lists each image separately so you can save the photos you want, without any watermark.
